Pass in an alternative outputter to display the return of data. This

Some outputters are formatted only for data returned from specific
functions, for instance the grains outputter will not work for non grains

If an outputter is used that does not support the data passed into it, then
Salt will fall back on the pprint outputter and display the return data
using the python pprint library.
